Improving my life in 2011

Cheryl Cole would probably look good in an orange dress Shopping tomorrow includes morning coffee and lunch so I'll enjoy that so long as I can find a suitable outfit- she doesn't browse shops like we do- she fully expects to get the outfit tomorrow.

I'm exhausted again (depression symptom), in bed already. Just spent the last 10 mins dealing with cats. A few nice cats live around here but this morning there was a skinny black cat at my door so I gave him some milk and forgot about him, but he was back just now meoiw-ing at me for food. I feel really bad that I only had milk for him because he really needs some cat food. But one of the nice well fed cats tried to steal his milk so I had to distract the well fed cat while the skinny cat drank the milk. I'm too tired for this nonsense but I'll buy some cat food tomorrow.

So lovely that it's only just got dark and it's 10pm.

Just thinking my iphone is possibly the best €40 I spend every month I've spent the last hour on it in bed catching up with some people on here and reading the news on apps from the daily mail, New York times, sky news.

I use it for email all the time plus almost all calls, texts and landline calls are included in the plan, very useful when I don't have a landline.

The telegraph this weekend has a fitness supplement and DVD from celeb trainer Matt Roberts, might be a nice break from shred (which I don't own) booklet Saturday and DVD Sunday according to grabbit.

Has anybody read about Cheryl Coles bizarre baby food diet, the thought of it makes me feel sick but I expect so many people will copy her.

Here's the offending strapless/topless/orange dress (which actually looks ok on the perfect size 8/10 model but in a size 20 with a 42G chest )

You also need to imagine it being tried on with this bra in an embarassing shade of grey from too many washes and skin colour knee high popsocks.

I know I sound like such a bi*ch but the sales assistant who was helping us kept mentioning how she was finding it difficult to see how the dresses were fitting because of the bra.

It was rather difficult to steer her away from the topless dresses, she tried too many of them on while I stood around thinking "I cannot let her go home to her mother with a dress that shows about 6 inches of cleavage to wear to her brothers wedding"

So after all that the dress we eventually bought is also orange :rotfl:but honestly it looked very well on her and actually covers the nasty bra. We also bought 2 more of those nasty bras, she refuses to even look at anything else. Sorry @Souk but even you wouldn't be able to talk her into something pretty in the lingere department.

We also got a lace/crochet bolero type cardigan for over it, cream shoes with a rather low heel and a closed toe because she'll be wearing tights, again nothing @shoegal would get excited about (from the lingere choices you can probably imagine that she wouldn't be going for the sexy shoes) but very suited to her taste and a cream clutch bag. They all look really good together and most importantly she was delighted with it. Total cost of all this was €246 which she considered an absolute bargain.

She also spent €60 on the 2 nasty bras, €11 on tights in M+S and €86 in Boots where she bought No7 Protect and Perfect day and night creams, 3 bottles of TreSemme shampoo, dove showergel, deodorant and Johnsons face wash.

She paid for my morning coffee and my lunch which was much appreciated but I'm almost certain her mother gave her an extra €20 and warned her to do this to pay me for my time.

And now we get to the reason why she's known as "toxic friend". Notice how I've listed what she spent, it normally wouldn't interest me what a friend was spending but this girl lives off social welfare benefits and chooses not to work. She doesn't have one single bill or responsibility to her name but she will regularly spend this sort of money as listed above but only on luxury items, never on boring household stuff. MSE is not something that would be of interest to her!

Yes :j but probably only the Jedward bit and the voting because I don't really like Eurovision, no particular reason why, I've just never been into it but I do :heart2: Jedward. I'd love for them to win

I got the Matt Roberts booklet today and I'm recommending it. It's much better than others I've seen. It has loads of pictures of different workouts, no fancy equipment required I'm going to get the dvd tomorrow as well although there's a chance it'll just be stacked up with all the other clutter :undecided

LittleBoots

Awww my shop didnt have it
Will hopefully pick it up tomorrow with the DVD

Lol Mags, those bras are grim. I take it no one sees them? A man would head for the hills if he saw that!!!

Mags30

No just me and a few lucky shop assistants

Honestly if she had a £500 voucher for your shop she wouldn't use it :undecided But the dress I picked for her is ok isn't it? It's quite nice on.

Weren't Jedward brilliant :T
